Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten have finally admitted they have some feelings for each other – but that doesn’t mean they’re a couple just yet.

If you missed the video package leading into their dance on last night’s DWTS, Alan said Alexis‘ confession was a bit of a lot to handle.

“Sitting next to Alexis on the couch and her telling me how she feels, my emotions were all over the place,” he shared. “You know, it was a lot to take in…I want to be 100 percent certain before I tell her how I’m feeling. I have a lot to think about.”

After their performance, the two were keeping mum on what that meant for the future, but that knowing the feelings are there helped them perform.

“We’re more open with each other and we trust each other a little bit more. We can just have fun and not have to worry about hurting each others feelings as much,” Alan told ET. “And, to be honest, the transparency is what makes it easier.”
